CSS - Background Image Not Showing
The only way i can get my backgroud image to show is to explicitly state my body elements within each document. If I put them in css file and refer each page to that css file, my background image does not work, but all the other elements in that css file do. Why?

Code: background: #cccccc url(/dir/bg.png) repeat-y; I've checked multiple sites just to verify that my code is correct, and it is.

In firefox & chrome, the background for the div shows fine. In IE, the background does not show. I'm not sure where the css issue is that's causing this.

Hi: I have the following in my CSS file: PHP Code: #body { background: url('images/columns.gif') repeat-y; text-align: left; } The problem is that the background image is not showing up un MS Internet Explorer. It works fine in Firefox. Is this a bug? Do I need a hack? Hello, I have been trying to figure this out, but have been unsuccessful. I am using a modalPopupExtender, but when the popup comes up, my background is still active. I suspect it has to be something in my css file, but would appreciate some help on this. I suspect it is the css that is causing this, but cannot figure out what. TIA! Here is the code for the MPE: <cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="MPE1" runat="server" TargetControlID="btnShowModalPop" PopupControlID="divPop" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" PopupDragHandleControlID="panelDragHandle" DropShadow="true"/> Here is the code in my css file: .modalBackground { background-color:Gray; filter:alpha(opacity=70); opacity:0.7; } .modalPop { background-color:Gray; border-width:3px; border-style:solid; border-color:Black; padding:0; width:250px; color:White; } .drag { background-color:#ff0000; cursor: move; border: solid 2px white; } I found the issue by referencing a blank css file and slowly adding statements in. It was a combination of the following which prevented the backgroundcssclass to not be shown propertly: #body div div { background: url(images/body_tr.gif) top right no-repeat; } #body div div div { background: url(images/body_bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat; } #body div div div div{ background: url(images/body_br.gif) bottom right no-repeat; } #body div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom left no-repeat; } #body div div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom right no-repeat; } #body .inner div { background: none; } I ended up add these bg imgs in my master page div tags directly and is working fine.....for now :P Edit/Delete Message Hi all, I've got a jpg background image using CSS and it's not displaying in Opera, but it is in absolutely every other browser back to IE 5.0.

It resides in the Image folder located in the same directory as the html file. Oh and the reason I had it included so much was to test to see if it was just the main-content that wouldn't load it. The main content should include the left-sidebar and right-sidebar right? Please help! I'm trying to use stylesheets to make a fixed, no-repeat background. It is working in Mozilla 1.0, but it's not showing up right in IE 5.5. Any ideas why? The site is at http://www.people.virginia.edu/~bjl6d/journal.html. The part that I put in my style sheet is: .journaltext { font-family: "Book Antiqua", Garamond; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; color: #000000; background-image: url(../images/layout/Layout_r2_c2.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-position: left top} Everything is perfect in Mozilla, but when I view it in IE, the background is not fixed. It doesn't repeat, which is good, but it's still not fixed. Any ideas what's wrong here? I have been trying to implement a shadowed effect on a layout I'm working on. Kind of like on this page . I tried it with 3 nested divs and will show you guys both sets of code.

My page works great in firefox, but in IE the top navigation div (top_navigation) SHOULD have a background color of red for testing perposes, but the color doesn't change! It looks like its inheriting the background color #e4dfd7 from the css body tag. I've tried using an inline style, or using !important, nothing works, and I have to make this available in at least IE6 and up. Thanks in advance for any help! html code -> cosmosristorante dot com / ox / index.asp This puzzles me for this is the first time EVER that it is not working. I have "background-image" coding and NONE of those images are even showing up, yet when i add them on the index file as a normal image all is well... Any ideas? Hi, I have some simple CSS for a div tag, inwhich there should be a tiling background image. Here is the CSS code: Code: #mainContent{ z-index:5; padding:0; margin: 2px; background-image: url(images/common/bodybg.gif); background-repeat:repeat-y; height:100%; } Then I have my div tag: <div id="mainContent"> which holds 2 other divs, both without backgrounds. Yet my tiling background doesn't show. Is there anything wrong with my code? I have checked the image path etc, but can't figure it out. Here is the site: http://www.caillouette.com/SouthernLiving/ thanks Edited because now that I posted I finally discovered the problem, I was missing a semi-colon after my width statement... Can anyone give me an idea why the color for the background of the Wordpress site I am revising the css script shows up 2/3 the color I want and the top one third is remains the original color. There is no "wrapper" option to revise. This is the 3 lines that seems to determine those changes.. *************************************** body { background: #180033 url (1-default/bodybg.png) repeat-x top; } a { color: #9BCB65; } a:hover { color:#180033; } *************************************** Could the problem be "repeat-x top;" ???????? Big thanks to anyone who offers help. |
